PGP Signature Setup & Config

[=?unknown-8bit?Q?S=EAr=EAciya_Kurdistan=EE?=]

Hello,

  I'm interested in implementing a PGP, and I'd like to poll those
  of you who could give me pointers on where to start ;)

  1) Where do I go to setup my key(s)?

     a) should I try to use a specific type of key?
        any compatibility issues?

     b) are there certain key servers preferred for posting public
        keys?  commercial, non-commercial, etc...

  2) How do I use it with "Mutt"? 

     a) are there any automated/simplified interfaces?

Many thanks in advance ;)
